Panic! Running low on white wine...

So a trip to Majestic was desperately needed. I spent a little over £150 on 18 bottles of wine (some white, some red, some rose and one fizz).

Whilst there I picked up a couple bottles of Gavi di Gavi 2010 La Toledana (see earlier post) for £7.99, and being a fan of the native Italian grapes spotted this Fiano, in another unusual shaped bottle.

The Fiano Fremendo 2010 Sannio DOC, 13.5%, £6.99 for two bottles.


I sometimes find Pinot Grigio too sharp and bland. So it was nice to have this approachable, easy drinking white. Pale gold in colour, it initially had lemons and a hint of floral on the nose. A day later, after refridgeration, it is more like pink grapefruit. It has fresh crispness on the palate, with honeysuckle. Possibly not as much acidity as I'd like, but that means it can easily be drunk on its own.

And the wine complemented the salmon, mascarpone and leek parcels we had for dinner.

Worth it for £6.99. And yes, I was a sucker for the sleek, modern label.
